Summary
1920. Poppy Denby, an aspiring journalist, arrives in London to look after her ailing aunt. She encourages Poppy to apply for a job at The Daily Globe, but on her first day, a senior reporter is killed and Poppy is tasked with finishing his story. It involves the mysterious death of a suffragette seven years earlier - an event some powerful people would prefer forgotten....
Through her friend Delilah, Poppy is introduced to the giddy world of London in the Roaring Twenties. Will she make it as a journalist in this fast-paced new city? And will she be able to unearth the truth before more people die?

Good Book!
Really enjoyed this listen. Great book, good plot, good narrator and easy to follow (I often struggle with complicated plots) and moves along a pace. I listen to so many books where hours are spent describing a room or some such, just filling out a book. But this one to me, had the perfect balance, Heartedly recommend!

Great story
So pleased to have found the Poppy Denby books. Thoroughly enjoyed the narration and The Jazz Files has sparked a renewed interest in the Suffragettes.

Enjoyable listen
Poppy is a very likeable character. The historical background seems well researched and the plot kept me interested from the first to the last minute. The reader is doing a lovely job bringing the characters to life! Looking forward to the next book in this series :)

Excellent narration
A really talented narrator, who has brings the characters to life.
I loved the strong female representation however the plot did, at times, push believability to its edge. Still an enjoyable tale.
